We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.

Whoever's read, The Tipping Point (Little, Brown and Company, 2002) by
Malcolm Gladwell will be familiar with the discussion surrounding the point 'when an idea,
trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.' Interest in Environment, Climate Change, Sustainable
Living and so on, seems to be reaching such a point. Understanding our role in maintaining
a healthy planet is an important topic which is finally reaching critical mass with the general public...
It is possible that Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth (Paramount Classics, 2006) has
been part of the tipping point for opening the eyes of the public to possible futures for our planet and our civilization.
For many this film has been the wake-up call that we needed to make some serious changes in order to protect our
earth.
